In celebration of the mullet

FORGET business up the front, party at the back - Kurri Kurri's inaugural Mulletfest, in celebration of the world's dodgiest haircut, just partied.

A multitude of mullets - and their owners - fronted up to compete in five 'best mullet' categories - every day, grubby, ranga, ladies and junior mullet - at the Chelmsford Hotel at Kurri Kurri in the NSW Hunter Valley on Saturday.

From those winners a best of the best winner emerged - Shane "Shag" Hanrahan of nearby Denman.

"This is the first trophy I've ever had," he told AAP after drinking Jim Beam from the silver cup.
